God in the darkness

October 14, 2009

Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish… saying, "I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me…."

--Jonah 2:1-2

When Jonah ran from God, the Lord got his attention in a dramatic way: letting him get swallowed by a giant fish. And during the three days and nights Josh spent in the fish, his heart began to turn.

Inside the utter darkness, Jonah recognized that God was at work in his life. And he found what he needed most at that moment: God's grace. 

Jonah cried out to God for mercy, and the belly of that fish became a sanctuary. He repented for his disobedient heart. And the Lord answered him and delivered him onto dry land.

God is so good to take all of our mistakes and to use them for our good when we walk according to his purpose. He is working all things creatively, constructively, and purposefully together for your good!

If your choices have landed you in unspeakable darkness, God is there. Repent and follow him. He will turn things around for you. It is his promise to those he loves and calls to his purposes.

IF YOUR CHOICES HAVE LANDED YOU IN UNSPEAKABLE DARKNESS, GOD IS THERE

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out

Dear Friend,

Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today!  --Jack Graham
